Haack's Networking - Authoritative DNS w/ Bind9

- root zone and base server cluster
- name server registration; glue records
- full CLI-driven zones/records
- full Webmin-driven zones/records
- DNSSEC howto for CLI & Webmin

Wiki Tutorial: https://wiki.haacksnetworking.org/doku.php?id=computing:bind9dns

You can add zones/domains & create A, AAAA, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, SRV, CNAME, and/or any DNS record you want; it's self-hosting heaven ;O

I'm preparing some Ansible roles to open their source code by adding Molecule tests.

As always, @geerlingguy has wonderful content for that 🙏

- https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-postgresql/tree/master/molecule
- https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/testing-your-ansible-roles-molecule
- https://github.com/geerlingguy/docker-debian12-ansible

I can't manage to run systemd commands in my docker setup ("Service is in unknown state"). When I start a container manually, I can use systemctl. But it fails when Molecule creates the container.

Any idea?

molecule.yml:

```

Debian has officially promoted loong64 from Debian Ports, confirming it will ship as a supported architecture in Debian 14 Forky.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Ease of use:

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) - Default for Windows refugees.
MX Linux - MXTools is cool.
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured DE.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated

Modern/Atomic (New Technologies):

Vanilla OS - Immutable, atomic updates, ability to run apps from Fedora/Arch via Apx. Friendly to new users.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), heavy reliance on AppImage

Performance and/or Old Hardware:

Siduction - Based on Debian Sid. Rolling release, newest kernels.
antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
Sparky Linux - Debian testing w/better support for drivers/gaming.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Window Maker Live - NeXTSTEP look, fast, polished, and based on Debian 13.

Multimedia/Creative:

AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.
Neptune OS – Polished KDE with excellent media support.

Toolbox Distros:

Kali Linux / Parrot OS - Penetration tools preloaded, think hackerman.
Tails - Anonymity, amnesic, no trace
Whonix – Highly secure via dual-VM setup.
Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS SCALE - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault – Turn old hardware into a NAS
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - The "oh shit" buttons
Raspberry Pi OS - built for Pi's
VyOS – Router OS
BashCore - Ultra minimalist, stealth, CLI focused, live environment, zero branding.

Protest Distros:

Devuan - dislike for systemd
PureOS – FSF endorsed, 100% free software, privacy-focused

Global & Educational:

Endless OS – Designed for developing world for offline content.
Emmabuntüs – Reviving donated PCs for schools in Africa.

You could also consider Debian Pureblends, like Debian Med and Debian Edu.

Did I miss any? Please let me know, I will edit the list. Thank you!

You have to decide if freedom is more important to you than convenience or paper-thin aesthetics.

That's really just about it.

Sorry if I'm not putting it super tactfully. I was a fanboy in my day, but it was a lot easier to be an Apple fanboy in 1989 or 2009 than today, now that they're just an overrated, overpriced, overhyped fashion brand with fascist leanings.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't have any experience running a free(dom) OS on your computer(s), then I can recommend something like Fedora or MX Linux as a great starting point, although I'm partial to #Debian. Getting FreeBSD going takes a little bit of work, although I wouldn't call it particularly hard. It's just some #RTFM :)

Again, I don't mean to be belligerent or demeaning. I'm just a bit further along on my journey and I have a hard time hiding my disdain for Apple anymore. I was a huge Apple fan for most of my life, so it's definitely a love-to-hate kinda thing. The mystical wave function of Apple's hype machine collapsed after dazzling my eyes for 30 years, and all I was left with was a solitary particle of bullcrap. XD

Pleases feel free to holler if you need any help or suggestions. I'm here for it. :)

Persoonlijk zou ik niet voor een op Android gebaseerd systeem gaan. Dan blijf je indirect afhankelijk van de grootste ontwikkelaar van Android: Google, #bigtech dus.

Daarom kies ik liever voor een direct op #Linux gebaseerd operating systeem.

Ik gebruik #PureOS, dat ook bijdragen upstreamt naar #Debian en andere projecten.

Andere opties zijn @mobian, @postmarketOS. Meer? Mijn voorkeur gaat naar een OS dat niet teveel "eigen" stuff heeft.

My wife dropped off a PC off from her work today. I'll image the system then upgrade it from #Windows10 to #Debian. When completed that will transform them from 100% Windows to 100% #Linux.

Creating a backup image and then getting to run in #VirtualBox will give me something to do over the break. They need an easily accessible backup in case they need something important from the PC.

Please recommend me a distro!

Long-time Debian Stable user here looking for something, preferably in the Debian family, that has faster updates and ships with KDE & systemd out of the box. Not Ubuntu. It's for a mid-tier laptop.

I could be persuaded to try something arch-based, or Fedora. Wary about NixOS.

Recorded the last guitar parts. Did the solo like 20 times. When I initially worked out the solo it was at 167bpm. Now it's 175. And 2/4. And someone was watching me. I didn't really nail it but I'll pull a Quincy Jones with some cutting and pasting.

Very happy though that Sander, the other guitarist from @jeremy@mastodon.classicyou.nl, laid down some solid parts.

Now I gotta mix the whole lot. And do the vocals. It's going to be a busy weekend.

A BLOB (Binary Large Object) is a data type used to store large binary data and is located within a program or library. It can be anything: dll, drivers /sys, plugins, firmware, multimedia, etc.

I'm going to do a series of blog posts after the #Vizio trial is over about my upgrade to my #NovaCustom laptop & a much newer #Debian & all the stuff I went through to make it happen.

I'm starting this thread simply to have a place to keep all my ideas about those posts publicly, in case they are immediately useful.

I suspect I won't have time to engage in replying on this thread until circa 2026-02-15, which is when I plan to start the blog posts.

TL;DR: it's going pretty good.

I live a stone's throw from the Boston/Cambridge area, one of the most tech-heavy regions in the US. Every other place that I've interviewed at used #Ubuntu LTS, #RHEL, or (yes) Solaris.

Their release cadence has improved significantly to a more predictable every 2ish years and they now have an LTS release.

On the topic of books, while it has been covered in #Linux #books, Debian-specific books are even more rare. At one point O'Reilly had a Debian book and it was already outdated by the time it was released.

Which leads me to another question: given the lack of documentation in Debian is buying an Ubuntu book a reliable way of learning it? I am not sure if there's a straight answer.

This right here, but...

It's important to understand Debian's culture. A solid description is it's the bazaar from Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and The Bazaar." There is a strong emphasis on #decentralization over #cohesion and a strong #resistance to a top-down structure and #authority. Culturally, the devs and maintainers consider #code primary and #documentation a nice to have but not essential. Furthermore, there are no enforced documentation standards. With such decentralization and full autonomy from devs and maintainers, the end result is thousands of people doing whatever they want and documenting however they see fit. #Debian #developers also assume a high degree of #technical #competency from whoever uses it.

Concerning the Debian Wiki, there is no editor-in-chief nor any ownership and a reflection of its culture. The attitude is "if you want something better, be the one to do it." The #quality of articles varies wildly, from chicken scratch notes to a walk through.

With so much #resistance to authority and change, improving documentation is a real #challenge. That being said, the simplest solutions at the moment are:

1.) Adopt the Debian Administrator's Handbook and collaboratively maintain it.

2.) Improve the wiki by adding templates and freshness tags.

The organization, culture, and project are honestly so fascinating. Honestly, it blows me away that one of THE most #influential operating systems ever functions in such a beautifully chaotic way. I mean, it has hundreds of derivatives and forks under it including #Ubuntu and #Mint (which are incredibly successful on their own). It's paradoxical that something that large and influential has barely any coverage. People don't write books on Debian but there are plenty for #RHEL and Ubuntu. Heck, there are more books on #FreeBSD at this very moment than Debian....which also further gatekeeps the knowledge from people.

But....it's important to understand why and what Debian actually is. I use my operating systems to cars analogy. RHEL, Ubuntu, #SUSE are all like going to different dealerships and buying a #car. All commercial off the shelf products. Debian is like skipping the dealership and buying the car kit from which you build your own. It's so much more than the "DIY hacker distro" but a powerful #development base for #tech #projects. Not unlike building a Go-Kart, a monstrous 6x6 truck, or a sports car. It's #flexible, #powerful, and can be tailored to one's needs. But, like a car kit, there's no glossy manual, just #technical specs.

It assumes you know what you are doing or that you are willing to get your hands dirty to learn.

When viewed from this perspective, it makes sense why documentation is the way it is. I'm not saying it's right but for its documentation to be improved to being on par with other OSes it would require a massive organizational shift to being a centralized #cathedral.

#debian #SBOM #rebootstrap

Oh *wow* #GNOME on #Debian is genuinely *fast*, not just acceptably responsive

After further #troubleshooting and #testing, I switched back from #UEFI to #BIOS and was able to set the USB optical drive as the primary boot device. I grabbed my trusty #Debian 13 netinstall and away I went!

Well, I didn't get *too* far. Hell, I didn't even get off the runway. The #laptop complained about a missing hard drive. Oh boy. I acknowledged the error and proceeded. The Debian installer displayed the initial menu. I chose "Install" and KA-POW! It failed miserably with this error.

So, in conclusion two things are true:

1.) This laptop has officially kicked the bucket.

2.) I like pain.

@panda That's awesome! I first started using #Debian when Sarge was released. It became my daily driver in 2006 and I haven't looked back.

For decades, #Debian has been my go-to for #Linux and operating systems in general. It's thoroughly tested, stability is rock solid, sane, and it stays out of the way. The #community, the Social Contract, the #transparency of the organization, and their #commitment to #diversity are also important reasons why I use it.

One of the longtime challenges I've had with it, however, is documentation. It is outdated and spotty. Finding information often requires #clairvoyance, digging through the #Internet, scattered wikis, old mailing lists, forums, and blog posts. It makes solving problems needlessly difficult. For this reason I have been leaning towards #FreeBSD. Technical and philosophical Differences aside, FreeBSD's documentation is excellent. The FreeBSD Handbook is widely regarded to be the go-to documentation source, particularly for new users. The team definitely deserves the credit.

The Debian Administrator's Handbook exists but it's not official and, like some other official manuals, is out of date. Cryptic man pages, however, are still the default documentation format though the reasons for that are both historical and cultural. Both Debian and FreeBSD started in 1993 when these systems were limited to extremely technical people and man pages were canon. Anything in HTML or PDF were considered "bonus." But, as these projects became more widely adopted, the culture of documentation shifted.

These days reading 30 different man pages and then engineering a solution is archaic and borderline unreasonable. HTML/PDF guides on hardening, virtualization, system tuning, and various reference manuals, step by step tutorials, cookbooks, and videos are the norm and significantly improve the accessibility of the OS as well as support people with different learning styles. The enterprise space isn't any different.

I am NOT faulting Debian. The sheer scale of the project is mind-boggling. Maintaining centralized up to date documentation of this magnitude requires significant organizational change and modernization....and it's required. The days of "RTFM!" are long gone, replaced by empathy, collaboration, and psychological safety and a new generation of users accustomed to different learning styles.

Even with these challenges, it's still my favorite OS. If you want to learn Linux, then seriously check out Debian. It's stable, mature, consistent, the community is great, and it's a solid foundation for technical projects.

I've been trying to install #FreeBSD 15 on spare laptops for the past week or so. The first laptop is on its way out. I wrote about it before. Tried a second laptop, which has a 5,400 RPM hard drive. There were more #networking issues, so just to see what worked I installed #Debian 13.

As an "Ah, what the hell. Let's install everything including all the Pure Blends!" moment I can wholeheartedly say the installation is *still* going. 😂

I've forgotten how just how slow these drives actually are.

"Slower than molasses dripping down a freezer wall" is an apt description.

👀 Hot Take

An Operating System's job is to manage hardware resources and launch applications. When the OS begins injecting "recommended" content into the file explorer or start menu, it ceases to be an agent of the user and becomes an agent of the vendor.

I want a #SelfHosted web-type Office Suite ala Google Sheets/Docs and I don't want it to be part of some gigantic resource-chewing albatross like #NextCloud

I would like to do all my Word Processing and Spreadsheeting and so forth through a web interface, which is served from my #Debian server (docker is fine) and saves the documents as normal files in a defined directory.

Does such a thing exist? I do NOT need feature-rich, I do not need it to save MSOffice docs that I can send to a printing shop with all bugs intact, I just want to stop losing shit to hard drive wipes, which I'm sorry but nuking my hard drive is a lifestyle choice at this point and I don't care what you think about it.

I have had the thought that maybe #LibreOffice has some sort of plugin or something which could store files in an Object Storage type thingy that I could self-host instead, cause I've been planning to get some sort of bucket online since forever...

If you've been running #Debian for a while and been doing in-place upgrades, it might be a good idea to do a clean install. I use LUKS encryption on my laptop and whatever version I originally installed only created a 512MB /boot partition and I was getting warnings every time I'd install a kernel update about it being full. 13 upped that to 1 GB. Between that and some changes in Gnome I didn't see because of old settings carrying over, a clean install was definitely a good idea.

@kerravonsen that's another thing I love about #Debian, they have a public repo with the whole history of binary and source packages for your backport or rollback pleasure.

Taken abstractly, nix is a build system. Nixpkgs has arch-install-scripts and debootstrap. Using these tools, it is possible to build a rootfs that can be turned into an installable iso. It follows therefore, that nix could be used to build and manage highly custom builds of upstream distros like Debian and Arch without actually booting into a VM in order to do it.

In this regard, Linux is a snake eating its own tail, but I wonder if this could be used for something besides just as a curiosity.

I imagine there's some gremlins in there to be found. But it could be cool to use nix to just spawn preconfigured distros that aren't even NixOS.

We have PostgreSQL 14 on Debian 11 with TimescaleDB 2.16.1.
We want PostgreSQL 18 on Debian 13 with TimescaleDB 2.23.1.

But the support of TimescaleDB on PostgreSQL 14 ends at version 2.19.3.

On Debian 13 and PostgreSQL 18, the minimum version of TimescaleDB available is 2.23.0.

We have to upgrade with an intermediary step:

1. Upgrade TimescaleDB to 2.19.3 in-place
2. Upgrade to PostgreSQL 17 on Debian 12 (with TimescaleDB 2.19.3)
3. Upgrade TimescaleDB to 2.23.1
4. Upgrade to PostgreSQL 18 on Debian 13 (with TimescaleDB 2.23.1).

Add a multi-terabytes of data making dump/restore impossible.

At least the extension is available on Debian 13 which is not the case of age and Citus.

This is nice to have a 5 years support on PostgreSQL but beware if you use extensions. The time window could be less than that, complicating the upgrade process.

I 100% support codes of conduct which expect people to assume good faith, but when someone repeatedly misinterprets other people's words in a way that casts them in a bad light, at some point it becomes irrelevant whether they're doing it on purpose to score points or by accident; it's still excessively disruptive and disrespectful to the community.

Got #WebP to load in #Inkscape!

I thought for a long time that Inkscape simply doesn't support WebP, but that isn't true. The problem, rather, was that the gdk-pixbuf loader for WebP was not installed on my system.

People using #Debian or another distro based on it need to install the package named “webp-pixbuf-loader”. That's all you need to do; merely installing the package will enable WebP support in Inkscape.

This should also enable WebP thumbnails in #Nautilus, if you use #Gnome.

My systemd-networking/firewalld experimenting in a VM now working nicely on the real machine; all that pretty much just worked - especially after I added a missing 'ConfigureWithoutCarrier=on' I'd made a note to do and then forgotten. The main gotcha was the #debian I'd debootsrapped not having the firmware files for the NIC that my internet connection went through.
I then took about another hour or two to get my graphs working due to a a missing CORS header in Apache. Sigh!

✅ Okay, after some more testing, looks like it's somehow related to the Wireguard tunnel, not the upgrade (I might have simply had bad luck with timing and noticing a problem and jumping to the conclusion that it was related to the upgrade).

Previous kernel, same tunnel, same issue.

New kernel, different tunnel, not a problem.

So likely NOT a Debian Trixie 13.2 issue after all! Good! I can poke at this separately.

Anyone else having IPv6 issues (possibly with Wireguard) after the Debian Trixie 13.2 update just now, which includes a kernel upgrade 6.12.48-1 to 6.12.57-1? It was working before, and after the upgrade I don't seem to get any IPv6 default route. (I do get an IPv6 assignment.)

paldo is a Upkg driven GNU/Linux distribution. It's kind of a mix of a source and a binary distribution. Even though it builds packages like a source distribution it provides binary packages.

#Linux

@stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.

I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away.

Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.

On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:

> $SERVICE start/stop/restart

Instead, we are left with:

> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restart

But I digress.

#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.

I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

After Debian archive was updated to 13.2 (yes, it's the second point release already!), the Debian CD team did the hard work of preparing and testing our installation medias to make sure everything is working correctly. Their work is now complete and the images are available at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ #debian #trixie #11

@stefano Great post! I've been using #Linux #FreeBSD for about two decades and want to share my experiences. For context, Linux became my daily driver and I dabbled in FreeBSD on the side.

As a newcomer to both the #technology and #culture of #Linux and the BSDs, *back then* there was more toxicity. And by toxicity I mean abrasive and unhelpful responses ("RTFM!") or some kind of "l337" attitudes in various mailing lists and forums. This, of course, was before YouTube and Reddit, where the former mediums were more prevalent.

Some Linux distros were friendlier than others. In those days, the #Debian mailing lists and forums were a rough place for newcomers and it drove a lot of people away. I left the forums because of that. I rarely post to the mailing lists but for other reasons.

At some point, there was considerable effort to improve the etiquette in said mediums, particularly the mailing lists. Sure, some fiery disagreements can take place but overall people are friendly and welcoming.

FreeBSD, on the other hand, has been a more positive experience. Yes, there are people who are vocal about their contempt for Linux, but they aren't disrespectful to other people.

Having witnessed both communities grow and change over the years, there's definitely less toxicity and FreeBSD is still a more welcoming community.

Want to share something cool about Debian? Maybe it's something that is brand new and will help inspire other distros, or maybe something that is in Debian for a long time but people don't know or tend to forget, or maybe something in between?!

As a Debian user of many years, I've been wanting to give the @linuxmint Debian version a try. I installed LMDE 7 a few days ago and have been using it as my daily driver.

IncusOS comes with all the missing things like ARM64 (aarch64) support, boot safety, full disk encryption, immutable images (read-only and signed) and fully locked down to operate in API only mode.

For me, it’s a mix of #Talos, #Harvester and Proxmox where it merges the best features of all ones!

It would be neat if #APT could store per-package notes for me.

In particular, I'd like to take note of why I decided to install a certain package. (It's an undeclared dependency of another package I have installed. The missing dependency is fixed in the latest #Debian but this machine isn't running that.)

The top section shows Jeremy Clarkson, with a text above him reading "WINDOWS 10 EOL" (End of Life) and the phrase "OH NO!" He has a concerned expression on his face. Various Windows-related logos surround the top part of the image. In the bottom section, Clarkson's expression shifts to a more neutral one, with a caption reading "ANYWAY." A wide array of Linux distribution logos, such as Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Tux (the Linux mascot), and others, surround him, symbolizing the multitude of alternative operating systems available after the end of support for Windows 10.

Three years ago, I experimented with introducing automated build testing for RISC-V in Linux GPU drivers. Back then, it was a bit hacky due to the older Debian version used in CI [ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19917 ]

Recently, Mesa3D CI was upgraded to Debian 13, which supports RISC-V out of the box — and we’ve already been testing basic RISC-V builds for the past two days!

Hopefully, Imagination will start testing on real hardware soon!

Debian to add hard Rust dependency to APT

It seems like a number of Debian ports are going to face difficult times over the coming months. Debian developer Julian Andres Klode has sent a message to the Debian mailing lists that APT will very soon start requiring Rust.

I plan to introduce hard Rust dependencies and Rust code into APT, no earlier than May 2026. This extends at first to the Rus

Network configuration in the Debian 13 Alpha GUI Installer.

Done!

Installation was bumpy… The main issue was that I chose btrfs for /boot, which apparently needs ext4 instead.

Now I am getting this error message during boot, does anyone have any idea about how to solve this? (Please tell me I don’t need to reinstall…)

Apart from that everything seems to be working well! I will conclude the configuration tomorrow.

I'm running some tests on my old and trusted Raspberry Pi A+.
I've installed Raspbian - latest release, lite version. At the prompt, it's using 92 MB of RAM, mainly due to systemd and NetworkManager. As soon as you use it (even just for apt), it starts swapping and becomes almost unusable. It took 5 minutes just to install Python.

I tried NetBSD (on the same memory card): 35 MB of RAM used (including Postfix!) and it's totally usable.

Qui peut me dire comment on utilise une clé #wifi sous #debian ? J'ai acheté la clé, mais je ne sais pas comment l'utiliser, la notice dit d'utiliser le cd (mais y a pas de lecteur de cd...).

Script d'installation d'ubuntu

Right; mail server upgraded to #debian Trixie; I did it by recreating it in a local VM first; package install to match, and then tested a restore from my encrypted backups - which was a good exercise in its self. Then a dist-upgrade; fixing up Dovecot was the hairiest bit - they've randomly changed the name of a bunch of options. mail_location is now mail_driver/home/path/inbox_path and the ssl options have also changed. mbox files are deprecated , but still work for now - job for later.

I've come to the conclusion that, while I am still using #Windows 11 out of inertia, it's time to contemplate an exit plan towards #Linux . The switch won't be any time soon (I have too much other stuff on my plate for the foreseeable future), but I do want to avoid paying further license fees to #Microsoft .

Major areas of concern:

- My #Steam library. I am by no means a heavy gamer, but I want to check if the major games I enjoy are known to work on Linux.
- Migrating away from #GoogleDrive towards #NextCloud is going to be a major chore, but it's something I can start in advance.
- I am a very heavy user of Notepad++ for my #TeXLaTeX typesetting, so I need a replacement whose user experience comes close (and no, neither vim nor emacs count).

As for what distribution to choose... I dunno. Lots of people at my place of work use #Debian , so maybe that would be a good idea?

I got some new case badge stickers in the mail today. I am super excited because I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 that I plan to fix up and the first thing I am going to do is put one of these stickers on it!
